Valentines day

[Teagan]

Holiday pricing is never a problem for me. I go the day after the holiday and stock up. With a holiday such as Valentine's Day, it gives me the opportunity to buy "love-themed" gifts and save them for use throughout the year. As long as i avoid anything that specifically mentions Valentine's, I'm golden. For other Holidays, I get plenty of other things at clearance price. Halloween decorations, costumes and candy...Christmas decorations and gift sets...Even the end of the winter holidays (Thanksgiving/Christmas) gives me the opportunity to buy the overstocked Hams, turkeys and other Holiday-themed foods. having a freezer chest in the garage is handy for such food sales.

I do this as well. After the holiday i get awesome stuff for way cheaper and save it for next year. Its great to do.

As for V-day i dont agree with the commercialized part of it. I dont tell my man i love him more that day than any other. We dont even celebrate it.
For me its more a day to celebrate the actual Saint Valentine for doing what he did. Bravo to him. I like that theres a day dedicated to love because of him. I just dont like how they try to make people feel bad who dont have anyone cause of it. That never worked on me but man they try to. You should spread that love to anyone who loves you or you love. Friends, family, etc. Not just a bf/gf/spouses.
I have way more an issue with Sweetest Day than V-Day. Cause man that is just a damn Hallmark holiday.

This is the first year I'm celebrating Valentine's Day with a significant other, ever. I'm actually really excited. I'm also a huge fat hypocrite because I've hated V-Day every other year. Say all you want about having friends be your valentine; this holiday is designed to make single people feel like shit and people in relationships to have an unnecessary smugness about their romance. In the spirit of the holiday, we're going to dress in Starfleet uniforms to make everyone else certain that their relationship is boring compared to ours and to make single people hate us.

And, fuck that buying crap thing. There are much more romantic things to do than buy a girl flowers/chocolates, and if you can't figure that out you probably don't deserve to be fucking her. Same with guys and shit. The only holiday worth buying decor for is Halloween, really. And it's much more romantic, too.

I'm single still this year but fuck it, I bought BJ a new xbox game and chocolate so I better get laid. It's the only day of the year I can pretty much count on sex so I'll be pretty cranky if it doesn't come through.

No offense meant towards your post, but this is a large reason why I have never cared to celebrate Valentine's Day. Cutesy relationships make me want to vomit and I've never understood why being single is seen as such a bad thing. I really enjoyed being single. You get to do what you want and focus on yourself. But society pushes this view on everyone that you're a loser if you aren't in a relationship. I would rather not perpetuate that.

I would like to clarify-

for me, celebrating valentine's day is a private affair. The point, to me, is not to tell the world that I have an awesome relationship with whoever. It's to tell that person I have an awesome relationship with them. So, it's just a "Happy Valentine's Day" with a couple simple gifts (usually not even valentine's themed) and a homemade card. If I'm lucky, there's sex, or at least a blowjob involved. If not, oh well.

Just found this while killing time and thought it would go great for today.

Know what I hate more than holidays? People who bitch about hating the holidays.

I'll say this about Valentine's day if you wait for this day to be romantic you're doing it wrong, but i'm willing to bet if you skip celebrating this day out of principle you're going to be the one giving yourself a blowjob tonight.

No offense at all! That was part of the point, lol. For the record, I would like to perpetuate that people in relationships are losers too. I like being cutesy, but I try to at least be tongue-in-cheek about it because I know it's annoying. I've spent a lot of my time as the single friend and third wheel, and even though it can be lonely at times, it's wonderful not having to answer to anybody. I hate that society thinks that a single person is an incomplete one. I'll go so far to say that if you aren't a complete person on your own, a relationship won't help at all. Best complete yourself by yourself before you're ready to throw another in the mix.

Just to join in on the single union brigade, friends and family alike have asked me when I am going to settle down or at least get in a relationship and my response has always been when I find a girl I want to have as my girlfriend. I'd enjoy being in a relationship but I also enjoy being single and simply doing what I want, but I find it rather annoying when my friends get in a relationship just to get into a relationship. I dry heave when I know that someone that just got out of a 5 year relationship tells me they're in love with the next person they just started dating.

It feels like a lot of my friends are co-dependent who go from relationship to relationship, maybe somethings wrong with me but every time a relationship has ended (Yes, girls have dated me- shut up) I took that time to be alone and just go be single for a while so I'm not thinking about my ex the entire time I'm with the next girl because that seems like it'd be bad for business.

So guess what I'm trying to say is any single ladies here want to go out?
